appliance, use only original spare parts and
accessories approved by the manufacturer.
• Do not wind the power cord around the
appliance, especially when the appliance is still
hot.
• During refilling with water, switch off and
disconnect the appliance from the mains.
• It is necessary to keep the unit in horizontal
position during operation.
• Do not direct the steam jet on electrical
appliances.
• Leave the appliance to cool down before clea-
ning it.
• Before storing the appliance be sure that it has
completely cooled down.
• This appliances is equipped with safety devi-
ces which are to be replaced only by a suitably
qualified technician.
• When Refilling the generator tank, use HOT
rather than cold water, pour in gently at first
and keep your face away. Otherwise the still
hot tank walls can spit drops of very hot water
or steam spray.
• Do not put any detergent or chemical substan-
ce in the boiler. Water by its nature contains
magnesium, mineral salts and other deposits
which in hard water areas can contribute to
limescale build up in the tank. To avoid these
problems, it is necessary to swill out with tap-
water and empty the generator tank after every
3 or 4 uses.In very hard water areas we recom-
mend the use of our KALSTOP FP 2003, a
special natural-base decalcifier which inhibits
and breaks down limescale, making it easy to
remove just by swilling out the tank with a little
tapwater. This is a preventive against scale
build-up and protects the metal walls of the
steam generator tank. KALSTOP is available
from Polti dealers or by mail-order from your
Polti Service Centre.
• Ensure the patented safety cap is fully and cor-
rectly screwed on, otherwise you may expe-
rience steam escaping from around the cap.
• Do not refill the tank while it is still hot, allow it
to cool down for a few minutes before refilling.
• Do not empy the appliance when the water in
the boiler is still hot.
• Do not try to unscrew the safety cap when the
appliance is in use.
• Check periodically the safety cap and the rela-
ted gasket, replace them with original spare
parts if necessary.
• If you iron sitting down, do not place your legs
under the ironing board, the steam can cause
burns.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on sur-
faces that allow the steam to escape e.g. mesh
ironing boards.
• Check that the continuous steam request but-
ton is switched off before connecting the
appliance to the mains.
